Building Your Resume

Needing a job for the holidays? Looking for that perfect internship? These simple steps for crafting the perfect resume will help!

What goes into a resume?

 

   1.      Contact Information (Full Name, Email, Address, Phone Number)

   2.      Goal or Objective (Why this job??)

   3.      Work Experience or Work History (Make sure to list in chronological order going from most recent to least recent)

   4.      Education (In-progress Education i.e. Bachelor’s Degree to High School)

   5.      Special Skills and Abilities (languages, computer programs, licenses and certificates)

   6.      References (always professional, never family members)

Always remember that resumes do not need to exceed one page, and that the font type and size should be ascetically pleasing to your potential employer.
